I wanna answer to myself
and I will find the way.
If I'm to blame, I'll stand accused
and I'll be the one to pay.
And you can take a vow
you don't intend to keep.
I wanna answer to myself,
for nights you know I like to sleep.
There'll be good times,
there'll be bad times,
and in time, time may fade away.
But the first time
I can't answer to myself
will be on my Judgement Day.
And when fate plays a losing hand,
I won't surrender easily.
But please lay me down
if I should turn away
when the game depends on me.
And if I'm wrong, I'll stand accused,
won't scorn the loser when he's right.
So they are fools,
don't leave them in the dark.
Maybe (maybe) someday they'll
see the light.
There'll be good times,
there'll be bad times,
and in time, time may fade away.
But the first time
I can't answer to myself
will be on my Judgement Day.
So let time come, let fortune go.
Long may sailors sail the sea
and long may bluebirds ride the wind
and long may love mean life to me.
There'll be good times,
there'll be bad times,
and in time, time may fade away.
But the first time
I can't answer to myself
will be on my Judgement Day.
There'll be good times,
(there'll be good times)
there'll be bad times,
(there'll be bad times)
and in time, time may fade away
(time may fade away).
But the first time
I can't answer to myself
will be on my Judgement Day.
